The aways are not too bad travel wise - Other than Cyprus
Hard to predict results with that lot
I think it is same for all our rivals, number of games I mean. The depth in squad will be completely tested. In other news, FPL is going to be very tough!

The 2nd string will have to play the EL games. They're at least the easier games we have in the group. We should be able to win them without the 1st XI. Not being in the CL should actually benefit us during these fixtures over our rivals. The 1st XI will play the PL fixtures. Spurs and Chelsea only 3 days apart will be fun. We got a few tough away games in there.
Spurs is home for United.
How is it a bonanza when I hate it? too many games.
if we win them all, I'll put money on us to win the title! (I don't think the bookies will be holding out much hope of seeing mt!)
I just hope we beat City. That would send a message..
Exactly. I said the same years ago. Its still 2 games a week spaced out.
So far, we’ve acquitted ourselves more honorably against the stronger clubs — Liverpool and Arsenal — than against the weaker clubs — Brighton and Brentford. Have faith!
Thursday evening to usual Sunday morning with a noon kick off.
It’s shit for everybody
All this because some genius decided to fix a summer tournament in the middle of the desert.
Yep, and if only this was the biggest issue with this absolute farce of a tournament. What a catastrophe top to bottom. It's disheartening, to say the least. Really sours my sentiment towards the entire sport.
That’s a tough month. Those domestic fixtures are insane.
Hopefully things don’t get so bad that they start drinking during matchesYay! football to watch every other day.
Just as long as everyone doesn’t lose their shit when the team drops a few pints…be happy and enjoy the matches!
Can I confirm something: fpl fixtures are showing Everton v Man Utd. at 7pm on Sunday evening (on BT Sport), is that right? I can't ever recall a PL match kicking off at that time before, is this a first?
Wasn't Villa v Liverpool a funny KO time when they got battered 7-2 early in season
That is right, first time United will have played on my birthday, usually its the international weekend.
Its the first time I've seen it at 7pm on a Sunday, I'm sure it was first pencilled in for 7.30 kick off but brought forward.
At least they sent a message
and still no kick off time for Chelsea away?
If we can win our next 2 games (West Ham at home and Villa away), that could see us 3rd in the league especially with the following 2 games coming up weekend after next
Chelsea v Arsenal
Liverpool v Spurs
Chelsea v Arsenal
Liverpool v Spurs
Arsenal will do Chelsea. The other one is anyone's guess.
Genuinely think we are the 2nd best team in the league right now in terms of actual play on the field. If we can find a prolific striker that fits the system wont be long until we're challenging.
Yeah of course it would have been better to get in front of Chelsea,however being within a point is better than four that's for sure.
Not been an awful month really.
So it did indeed end up 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss from 6 league games. 11/18 isn't amazing but considering the fixtures it's not a bad return, it's positioned us nicely ahead of Chelsea and Liverpool, and just 3 behind Spurs with a game in hand.
We won our Europa games too but probably made more hard work of them than we should have and I'd have hoped we'd have been able to rotate more.
The next 5 league games are Villa, Fulham, Forest, Wolves, Bournemouth. We absolutely have to put a winning run together here to solidify ourselves in 3rd spot. After today I'm a bit worried that we're fatiguing, hopefully we can scrape 2 more wins before the world cup.
We look tired and I can't say I blame the players.
It was the wrong time to suffer our injuries. When we had to rotate we couldn’t.
